Preparation of Chinese national potency reference for hepatitis E vaccine / 中国生物制品学杂志

ABSTRACT

@#ObjectiveTo prepare the hepatitis E vaccine national potency reference for the quality control of hepatitis E vaccine.MethodsA batch of hepatitis E vaccine was selected as the row material,and the screened lyoprotectant was added. After aliquot and freeze-drying,it was prepared as candidate reference material,and the homogeneity and stability were investigated,which was distributed to four laboratories for collaborative calibration and applicability study.Results The 5% trehalose + 2% dextran was selected as the lyoprotectant to prepare the candidate reference material. The aliquot accuracy of candidate reference material was 0. 7%;The coefficient of variation(CV)of antigen content homogeneity was9. 0%;The CV of aluminum content homogeneity was 4. 0%. Moisture content was 1. 7%. The candidate reference material showed good acceleration stability and reconstituted stability. A total of 18 valid data were obtained from the collaborative calibration. The results showed that the average value of median effective dose(ED50)was 0. 15 μg(95% confidence interval of 0. 12 ～ 0. 18 μg)with the intra-laboratory CV of 30. 8% ～ 64. 2%,and the inter-laboratory CV of 32. 6%. Two hepatitis E vaccines produced by two laboratories themselves and the candidate reference material showed good dose-response relationship,of which the seroconversion rate decreased with the decrease of vaccine antigen content and the curve change trend was similar.ConclusionThe first Chinese national potency reference for hepatitis E vaccine(300031-201801)was prepared,which can be used for the quality control of potency ED50detection of hepatitis E vaccine.
